ABOUT THIS FUND
The VistaShares Target 15 S&P 100 Distribution ETF (SIOO) is an actively managed fund designed to provide investors with both a steady stream of income and long-term growth potential. It achieves this dual objective through two main avenues: first, by investing in equity securities that broadly mirror the composition and performance of the S&P 100 Index; and second, by employing an options overlay strategy focused on generating income, with a targeted annual distribution of 15%. The fund's sub-adviser has considerable flexibility in executing the equity portion, choosing to invest directly in S&P 100 components, via other ETFs, or synthetically using derivatives like options or swaps. This discretion also allows them to adjust portfolio holdings or weights to comply with regulations, enhance diversification, or optimize performance. Regarding its options strategy, the primary goal is to collect premium income, largely through the use of covered call spreads. However, the fund may also engage in buying or selling other types of options to achieve specific market exposures. All options positions are secured by short-term U.S. Treasury securities or cash. SIOO's portfolio undergoes regular active rebalancing. Investors should also be aware that a substantial portion of its distributions may be classified as a return of capital.
